Poor Bernie Sanders!
First, leaked Democratic National Committee emails revealed party leaders had some not-so-nice things to say about the former presidential candidate, and now, fans of The Bachelorette are breathing down his neck!

On Monday night, Senator Sanders spoke to delegates and voters at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, but when his speech went on… and on… and on… he started to draw the anger of Bachelorette fans as he cut into their time to view their show on ABC!
It all really started when the show’s host, Chris Harrison, predicted there might be an issue with timing because of the DNC, when he tweeted out (below):
Check local listings cause I’m guessing the #DNC will jack up #TheBachelorette time in many cities. Some things are even out of my control
— Chris Harrison (@chrisbharrison) July 25, 2016
He also followed it up when a fan responded with a funny remark (below):
When I become king… We have that right? RT @giggitygreg: @chrisbharrison you must become president to fix this injustice Chris
— Chris Harrison (@chrisbharrison) July 25, 2016
LOLz!!
But while Harrison was in good spirits about it, a lot of fans were NOT.

Predictably, Twitter went off the deep end the longer Sanders stood up at the podium in Philly and spoke, cutting into precious JoJo time on ABC!
Ch-ch-check out some of the best, funniest, and most un-hinged tweet about Sanders’ speech rivaling JoJo’s love search last night (below):

OMG!!!
People take this stuff seriously — maybe JoJo should run for President next cycle?!
OK, probably not… but at least we know Bernie probably wouldn’t stand a chance on the next season of Bachelorette after Monday night’s little stunt! Ha!!
